Planning on picking up this longtime California FJ40 that has pretty much sat since 1985. Story is it was parked on a hill and water rusted out the front floorboards, but everything else seems like surface rust with a nice straight body. Also wanted that pre 75 for smog exemption.
Obviously looking for a project, but as this is my first 40 or project of the kind, really hoping to at least start with as complete of an original as possible. From the pics it seems mostly there, but I start the 9 hour journey tomorrow, so only so much I can do from behind a screen.
What does seem to be missing is the transfer case shifter. It looks like the transfer case is there however. Any thoughts? Am I missing something?
Obviously a lot to learn, but trying to jump on what I think is a deal and figure most of it out later. Thanks for any help.
